1、 Exhibition Overview and Industry Background

The Chinese hotel and catering market continues to maintain stable growth, especially driven by economic diversification and consumption upgrading, with the increasing demand for equipment, services, and technology from high-end hotel and catering enterprises.

This is highly in line with the global trend of environmental protection and digitization, providing impetus for the sustainable development of the industry.

Environmental protection is not only a corporate responsibility, but also a key factor in future competition.

4、 Comprehensive improvement from service to experience

The service upgrade in the hotel and catering industry is not only about hardware upgrade, but also about the quality of experience. The 2026 exhibition has specially hired several individuals to hold forums and sharing sessions to explore the evolution of consumer demand in the new era.
